Chapter 1289 Catch Him Alive


    Zion never expected that Jared had actually forced David to the point of self-destruction. As a Martial


    Arts Marquis, it would take a lot for them to even consider self-destructing.


    Moreover, Martial Arts Marquis had families as well. If they self-destructed, that would mean that their


    entire family would disappear off the face of the earth.


    “It seems that Jared is definitely dead this time,”mented a head of a prominent family.


    After all, if a Martial Arts Marquis self-destructed, everything within a hundred-meter radius would be


    destroyed as well.


    “Let’s wait till the investigation is over. I have a feeling that Jared is still alive,” Ryker said faintly.


    He knew Jared’s real identity. Moreover, if thetter’s sudden improvement was not due to Demonic


    Cultivation, then it would be rted to the secret that Ryker was so desperately trying to find out.


    He had locked his own sister up for more than twenty years just to know about the secret.


    That secret could very well be hidden in Jared himself.


    “That’s right. Let’s wait for the news. You are all dismissed.” Zion waved his hand, and the heads of the


    martial arts families got up to leave.


    Soon after they left, seven men walked into the room.


    They were all dressed in ck, even their heads were covered by a ck cloth. Only their eyes were


    revealed, but their gazes were dark and lifeless, just like a corpse’s. They did not even blink.


    In front of the seven men in ck, Zion took out a photo of Jared. As he was holding it in his hand, the


    photo suddenly started burning.


    “Your target is this man. Make sure to catch him alive,” Zion ordered the seven men.


    They nodded and walked out without uttering a single word.


    The reason why Zion did not want to kill Jared and wanted to catch him alive was that he wanted the


    draconic essence within Jared.


    When Jared was fighting against David, the golden dragon that was circling above the former’s head


    had left Zion utterly astonished.


    Therefore, he changed his ns and decided to catch Jared alive. He nned to extract the draconic


    essence and then kill Jared.


    In the meantime, Jared was currently staring at the ashes that were once David and the Norton family.


    He felt slightly bummed by what had happened.


    David was a Martial Arts Marquis, for goodness’ sake. If Jared was able to extract the golden elixir from


    David’s body, it would help his cultivation a great deal.


    However, now that David had been reduced to dust, the golden elixir had been destroyed as well.


    The next step of the n was to find Skr, for he was the actual culprit.


    “It doesn’t matter where you run to. Be it to the ends of the earth, I will find you.” Jared’s eyes shone


    with determination.


    Now that the Norton family was dead, there was still something left to do. It involved the massive


    amounts of resources and assets the Norton family had in Jadeborough.


    Of course, there had to be someone to take over and manage them, but Jared did not have the time to


    do it. Hence, he needed to find someone to take care of that.


    However, Jared had transferred the entire Shadow Estate over to the Vige of Viins. As it was quite


    far from where the Norton residence was located, it would be borderline impossible for him to take over


    the Norton family’s huge industry.


    It was not suitable for the Baileys to take over as well. After all, the Bailey family was only in charge of


    simpler businesses. If they were to take over such a big industry, they probably would not know much


    about it, let alone manage it well.


    Just as Jared was deep in thought, Howard’s face suddenly popped into his mind.


    The Dunn family was a famous martial arts family in Jadeborough. Moreover, Howard was a man of his


    word and was well-acquainted with Jared.

    Therefore, Jared hoped that the Dunn family would be willing to reach out and take over the Norton


    family’s business.


    As for L, Jared trusted that the old man would not dare to try to harm him anymore.


    With that, Jared turned and headed for the Dunn residence. However, he had just taken a few steps


    forward when he realized that someone was secretly observing him.


    With his spiritual sense, Jared soon found out that an elder from the Warriors Alliance was spying on


    him.


    Jared’s lips twitched as he remained standing still as he called out in a cold voice, “It’s not like the


    Warriors Alliance to be so sneaky. Since you’re already here,e out right now.”


    The elder from the Warriors Alliance was taken by surprise upon hearing Jared. Regardless, he still


    walked out of his hiding spot cautiously.
